Why plant Sunshine Ligustrum?
A plant that brings light into allergy sufferers' lives - Sunshine Ligustrum. This bright green shrub is a sterile plant that will not produce any blooms, making this a plant that even the most allergy-sensitive person can enjoy. Plant a bunch of Sunshines together and watch as they brighten up even the darkest of corners in the landscape, you'll need sunglasses!
Traditional Asian Privets are very invasive and have been introducing themselves into the native forests and spaces of North America becoming a very invasive species. Sunshine was selected as a choice privet due to the sterility and lack of spread this plant experiences. A great plant that will be long-living and not spreading into the natural landscape to become invasive.
How to use Sunshine Ligustrum in the landscape?
